Surazh (Russian: ¿¿¿¿¿) is a town and the administrative center of Surazhsky District in Bryansk Oblast, Russia, located on the Iput River 177 kilometers (110 mi) southwest of Bryansk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 11,640 (2010 Census); 12,046 (2002 Census); 12,559 (1989 Census);[7] 1,599 (1897). It was first mentioned in the 17th century as the village of Surazhichi (¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿); later as a sloboda. Since 1781 it has been known as the town of Surazh-na-Iputi (¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿), and since 1797¿as simply Surazh. In the town of Surazh, there were 461 Jews in 1939 (15.4 % of the total population). In 1917, there were 6 synagogues. All of them were wooden, except one made out of stone. The village was under German occupation from 1941 to 1943. Nazis carried out the murder of the Jews of Surazh in conjunction with an antipartisan operation. On August 12, 1941, between 600 and 750 Jews were gathered by the Germans on the location of the former printing office in Sourazh. Then, they were taken and shot behind the linen factory, 2 km away from the village, in pits of the ravine, known as Loubtchyno. The bodies of the victims were exhumed and reburied after the war in the Jewish cemetery.
